Hi. Unfortunately the Internet connection _has_ to be enabled during installation for complete language support to be enabled. There's no space on the CDs for practically any (full) language support, so they have to be downloaded. If the Internet connection is enabled during installation, full support should get downloaded (and it works for me and has worked in the past for all people, too). You with Portuguese at least have some translations on the CD, most other languages do not have any besides the installation program itself. I have a long term wish that the fact that non-English people need the Internet connection enabled would be recognized to the extent that people would really be guided to click on the Network Manager icon (or just presented with a dialog "Please select your Internet connection" in the installer which would probably be better) to enable eg. WLAN connection before the installation. Wired connections should theoretically be automatically enabled, though. I meant this generic problem with the "larger issue with language support" I mentioned in the text you quoted. Currently I'm just including it clearly in the Ubuntu Finland's installation guide (http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Asentaminen_8.04) that the Internet connection should be enabled before starting the installation. The problem is not helped by the problems of Language Selector before software sources are refreshed after installation, and even when they are - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/135752 (I just added notes regarding hardy installation without Internet connection enabled). Anyway, I'm very happy how well stuff generally works when the Internet connection is available and enabled during installation. -Timo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
